Scientific name: phoradendron leucarpum

Flower type: Dioceious Usually 3 lobes but can be upto 5 stamen as many as calyx are present Corolla absent ovary inferior: epigynous

Fruit type: white berries, usually round to elliptical in shape. They are approximately, 4-6 mm in diameter. Generally found in clumps, about 1-3 feet in diameter, on the branch of the host.
Mode of pollination: Birds, the stick viscious layer of the berries tend to stick on the bird. Inturn, the bird then disseminates on other trees.
Stems: brittle and highly branched.
Phillotaxy: oppostie.
Leaves: Simple, evergreen, leathery and orbicular. Approximately, 2-13 cm long and 1-4 cm wide. When the mistletoe mature, it relies om photosynthesis.

Roots: modified-haustorial roots which penetrates into the hosts xylem, and hence the roots takes up the nutrients from the host tissue.

In a new research, led by professor in University of York, plants are being genetically modified by injecting isolated enzyme from the bacteria that breaks down the toxic explosives from the soils. This genetically modified plants then can be used as pollutant pumps.
